It's been ages since an Indiana team in the NCAAs played with as much spirit as the Hoosiers did after the intermission. Following the lead of the hyperkinetic A.J. Moye (if an A.J. can play, he'll wear crimson and cream), the Hoosiers seized the game as their own. With the stalwart exception of Carlos Boozer, the Blue Devils contented themselves with 3-point shots after their lead had crested at 17. Whereas Indiana resolved to find its way to the basket. The Hoosiers did so in old-school fashion: with crafty entry passes; with dogged retrieval of their own missed shots; even with a high-post pass-and-cut play that would have made an Original Celtic smile.
